The 'Dragon Rush' move can break through an opponent's guard and if successful, offers a choice between an aerial combo or forcing the opponent to switch to a different character. This has multiple uses, from bypassing enemy projectiles to moving quickly around the stage, or extending a combo. With the 'Vanish Attack', the player can expend Ki to instantly teleport behind an opponent's character and strike them in the back. In addition to the unique moves of each character, players have several universal moves available.
All three of the opponent's characters must be defeated to win the game. Players can also call one of their other characters to perform an 'Assist' move, allowing simultaneous attacks and combos with the entire team. One character is controlled and can be switched with one of the other characters at any time. Players each select three characters to form a team, from an initial roster of characters from the Dragon Ball franchise.
The gameplay is inspired by concepts from several other fighting games, namely the control scheme and team mechanics.
